Enterprise Learning

What is it?

Enterprise Learning supports charities and social enterprises in England working in either the homelessness or youth sector to develop or grow their enterprising activity and earned income. The programme offers business support and expert guidance.

Organisations that apply for Enterprise Learning can also apply to Enterprise Grants.

Are established and growing: typically total annual income will be £50,000 or more for youth organisations or £100,000 or more for homelessness organisations – that’s your total income from all sources, including grant, donation, trading and other sources. (If you’re generating less feel free to contact Amber below)

Want to increase and develop new income from trading.
